Autorenporträt
At times adventurer, explorer, journalist, and documentarian, S. L. Kelley is also a multi award-winning video producer and writer. Her assignments and research have taken her to some of the most remote and extreme places around the world. She's documented treasure hunting high in the Andes Mountains, explored a lost city with archaeologists in the Arabian Desert, and searched for shrunken heads in the Amazon Jungle. Her later work has focused on her home country and includes video interviews with some of America's remaining World War II veterans. The real-life characters and experiences in Hillbillies to Heroes are centered around the story's narrator, James Quinton Kelley, the father of this as-told-to memoir's author, S. L. Kelley. She interviewed him extensively over many years to capture a portrait of this remarkable man using his own words, set in American history.
